As promised, Playbox today brought the console racing experience to Tegra 2 devices with the release of Bang Bang Racing THD. This top-down racer, previously available on XBOX 360 and Playstation 3, is one of the soon to be numerous games optimized for multicore phones and tablets. With the added device power comes a level of physics that is yet unknown in mobile gaming.

Let's just hope all that new hotness is worth the relatively high cost. At $7.99 for an introductory price (i.e. the price is going even higher soon) this isn't the cheapest game on the Market, but judging from the gameplay videos it may just earn the price tag.

Here's a quick breakdown of some of the features of this game:

A brand new IP giving you an exclusive home console experience for your mobile device.

phew, it wasnt just me. I returned it because of the controls. Looks beautiful and runs incredibly well on my Transformer though. I just couldnt get over the controls.

This game is def not worth eight bones. Playbox wrecked it with moronic controls. Its not even a racing game now. You trace a path for the car. No steering no gas no braking. Playbox, you're fired.

This game could easily be worth the 8 bucks if they release an update for the controls and add a minimap. Tracing your hand around the screen while trying to learn where to go was a horrible idea and whichever genius decided that should be the only control scheme should be fired. I'm not a big fan of tilt control, but even that would be better than this.

Tegra-only games are creating more fragmentation problems. I really wish they would stop that.

About the game, graphics and gameplay looks terrible, and everyone is complaining about controls. When I want true console expirience, I play Gran Turismo 2 on FPse...

And the fragmentation continues....

Graphics is awesome, gameplay is marred by horrible controls.

I've emailed the developers and they have indicated that they will be implementing more control schemes in the future update.
